“The attention and environment you provide, shapes your child’s brain for life.”
— Erik Erikson
At The Laurel School, we recognize each child’s unique abilities and truly connect with your child. When students begin at Laurel, we assess their current skills in the core academic subjects and set up an individualized academic program that meets their needs yet challenges students to grow academically. Our top-notch instructional materials and programs support students in mastering many skills, work habits and routines. We provide a close-knit environment with a lower teacher-to-student ratio allowing for increased student engagement and participation. Over time, students can master many skills leading to a stronger foundation for early success.

Program
Our Grades 1-3 program is an interactive experience between the classroom, the teacher, and the child. Each child's day is structured around a balance of active play, hands-on exploration, and teacher-directed, academic seat work. On top of academics, we continue to build life skills, including social/emotional, time management, leadership, mindfulness & kindness abilities. As students build these foundational skills daily, we view the progress children make, thus leading to mastery in their development within their early years. As your child progresses through our enriched, academic program, your child will be set up for success and develop many lifelong, mastered skills.
